“The pre-trial Judge found that the risk of flight and the risk that the defendant might influence witnesses if released continued to exist and that there are no less severe measures that could be imposed at this time,” the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) said in a release on Tuesday.Detention on remand was initially ordered by the Mitrovica Basic Court following Delibasic's arrest on 4 February 2014.Delibasic is suspected of the criminal offences of incitement to commit aggravated murder and incitement to commit attempted aggravated murder, the release said.Delibasic is one of the four Serbs the Serbian government has given guarantees will be available to the judicial authorities in Kosovo at all times in exchange for their release pending trial.
